Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

How can I get into Dr. Gygax's office?

  • 1 of 9: Find it in the area past the two iron gates and try the door.
  • 2 of 9: It's locked, so off you go on another key hunt.
  • 3 of 9: Explore around until you find the door labeled "kein zutritt."
  • 4 of 9: Click on it to get a hint on how to open it.
  • 5 of 9: Holmes mentions his trusty lockpickin' spoon, so try using it on the door.
  • 6 of 9: That'll bring up a lockpicking puzzle which works just like the one on your holding cell door did earlier, though it's a bit trickier due to the fact that the leftmost starting number isn't 1.
  • 7 of 9: Look on the floor of the room past the door.
  • 8 of 9: You'll find a key on the floor to the right of the door (as you face into the room).
  • 9 of 9: Take the key and go use it on Dr. Gygax's office door to let yourself in.
